This development prompted VMware to modify linked-mode functionality to also include management of assets in Amazon’s cloud. However, In 2017, VMware announced a partnership with Amazon to extend vSphere functionality into Amazon Datacenters and integration with its Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment. Most of the changes have come about as the company pivots away from vCenter’s historical Microsoft Windows roots, to being purely a Linux based Virtual Appliance. VMware’s “Linked Mode” feature has a number of names – from Linked Mode to Enhanced Linked Mode, to now it being also called “Hybrid Link Mode”. I would recommend starting which gives a good round-up of all them. Far too many possible permutations for me to cover – so I would seriously considering studying the documentation in full. There now 8 supported topologies for multiple vCenters and “Enhanced” Link Mode – and 3 depreciated one as well. So I would have two PSC and vCenters one for New York and the other for New Jersey. This more distributed model is not supported with the “embedded” deployment type – where the vCenter and PSC service reside in the same instance – and seems to have been introduced with vSphere 6.5 U1. This ensures licenses can be assigned freely around the organisation – and not be “locked” to specific site location. In this scenario – I wanted the appearance of multiple vCenters across many sites – and wish to link them together for ease of administration – and the sharing of licensing repositories.

WARNING: Please pay close, close attention to your FQDNs as during the process built-in certificates are created which if you subsequently correct/change hostname will be invalid.

The vCenter install validates your IP/DNS configuration and won’t let you proceed until its correct. Note: As ever before you begin – make sure the FQDNs of your proposed PSC and vCenter are listed in DNS – and reserve your IP addresses accordingly.
